Campus Immigration Resources

Every Shoreline student, staff, and faculty member should be confident that the College
is steadfast in our commitment to being a welcoming and inclusive place for all students.
We are committed to upholding and maintaining a supportive and respectful learning
environment for everyone. As stated in our Community Standard, Shoreline does not tolerate hateful, violent, or discriminatory actions that target
any person or group based on their beliefs, customs, identities, or affiliations.
We at Shoreline Community College are unwavering in our dedication to maintaining
an open and supportive place of learning.

Current events at a national level have prompted questions on our campus related to
student immigrants and the resources available for individuals impacted by recent
presidential executive orders. In addition to the community resources, the College
also provides a variety of services dedicated to the support of student success. These
resources can be found below.

Multicultural CenterA student center focused on engaging the entire campus to create a climate of inclusion,
equity, and access.

Student Counseling CenterProvides enrolled student access to free and confidential personal, career, educational,
and crisis counseling, as well as referrals to community resources.

emphasis on program variety and service to diverse populations.

resist, and build a future of freedom for all people.

Staff Guidelines for Responding to Immigration Inquiries

Students should be reassured that they can safely participate in a college education
at Shoreline without the College collecting or sharing immigration information in
situations not required by law. If anyone is approached by a federal enforcement agent, please immediately contact
the President’s Office at (206) 546.4552 or come to the Administration Building 1000.

To ensure clarity across campus, please review the following informational items:

We do not share immigration information with federal enforcement agents unless required to do so
by law, which will usually involve a lawful subpoena or warrant.

To ensure appropriate response, the College consults with legal counsel in response
to all immigration-related subpoenas and/or warrants.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents need a valid warrant to enter non-public
areas such as classrooms, offices, and areas that are only for students/staff.

In all cases where ICE is seeking access to non-public areas of campus, college officials
can ask to see a warrant. Valid warrants will:

Be signed by a judge

Properly identify the agency with the authority to search

Correctly identify the search location

Include the correct date which has not expired

We do not collect immigration information from students for the purpose of assisting immigration officials.

Inquiries related to immigration status, place of birth, or citizenship, are prohibited
except where required by law.

Campus Safety & Security will not request such information or ask questions to students regarding immigration status or citizenship.

Questions regarding this information can be directed to your Executive Team member
at any time or call the President’s Office at (206) 546-4552.
